sHADE-ROLLER AND cUBrAIrr-Ronsuronr.

Application filed .Tune .4,

This invention relates generally to shaderollers ancl curtain-red supports such as used at windows and vthe like., The invention having more particular reference to a lnovel `type of combined shade-roller and curtainrod support.

Theinvention has foran object the provision ofv an adjustable shade-roller and .curtain-rod support.

A further vobject of the invention is ,the ;provision of an adjustable shade-roller and curtain-rod support of cheap construction and low cost.

For further comprehension vof the invention, and Vof the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the ,following description and accompanying' drawings, and to the appendedclaims in which the .varouswno'vel features of theinvention are .more particularly set forth.

;Fig 1, of the drawings, illustrates our improved combined shade-roller and cur- -tain-rod support in placeon a. ,window frame with a shade and curtain attached `thereto, as it would appear when in use. i i

Fig. 2, is a top plan view thereof.

Fig. 3, is a front perspective view of our improved combined shade-roller and curtain-rod support.

Fig. 4, is a Vertical sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig'. 3.

Fig. 5, is a similar view to that shown in Fig. 3, illustrat-ing a modification of our improved device.

Fg. 6, is a face view of a modification of the support.

Fig. 7, is a Vertical sectional view taken on the lines 7-7 of Fig. 6.

Fg. 8, is a face view showing a second curtain bracket secured to the supports shown in Fig. 5.

v Fig. 9, is a top plan view of the same.

As here emboded our improved combined shade-roller and curtain-rod support comprises, a support 10, of any suitable design and shape, having apertures 11, to accommodate screws or the like, as a means of attaching the support 10 to the upper or top portion of a window frame, as clearly shown in Fig. 1. The support 10, is providedwlth curved elements 12, adapted to slidably support a shade-roller bracket 13, having its extremty 14 bent or formed, at right angles thereto, and provided with an aperture'l,

.and elongated slots 16, extending from the upper ,andbottom ,edge of the extremity 14, and ,located above, `Vand below-the said apel'- ture ,15, so as tofsulport ashade-roller, such vas commonly 'use It being' understood thattlie .said sha'le-,roller lbraclet is ladapted ;to support a shade-roller at eith'e'riend, by

fsldablyengaging the :shade-roller bracket either endf'o'f `the supportV 10. 'I'llrecurtain-rod ,bracket 17 is provided with an extended element 18, extending therefrombelow the hracket-17. The curtam-rodsupport 17 is also ,provided with ,a curved `vextremity *19, `p'0.si`ti`onedI at right angles thereto, ;and having suitably attached thereto, a vVertical lpin.20,` extending upward ,70 tl'rerefrom, adapted to'engage'f'a curtain-rogi ,40, such 'pas commonly used. Theextremity ofzthesupport'17is formed in a substantially cylindric'val loop ,for providing a socket for zthe, pin 20 ,which is adapted to retain the latter inupright position. 'Itshould' be understood that the Curved portion 19 of the sup- :port 17 is adapted tobe disposed Within the 'hem kof a curtain andV is also'adapted to re- `tain the edge ;portionsfof the curtainin a curveid ,vorp'rpundedshape, the 'manner in whichthe pin 20'is mounted 'on the support 17 being particularly adapted to eliminate sharp corners and projections for preventingtearing of the curtain when the latter is disposed over the support 17.

.It being understood that the shade-roller bracket 13 may be extended so as to accommodate shade-rollers 41 of various lengths, and that the said shade-roller bracket 13 may be held in any desired extended position by a screw 24, located adjacent to a suitably formed notch 25 at the extremity of the shade-roller bracket. The extended element 18 isprovided with an elongated slot 21 having enlarged'extremities 22, so as to permit the said curtain-rod bracket 17 to be slidably attached to the support 10, by means of a screw 23, threadedly attached to the support 10. It being understood that the enlarged'extremities 22, will permit the curtain-rod support 17 to be engaged or disengagedwith the support 10 by merely loosening the said screw 23, and that the curtainrod support 17 may be extended so as to accommodate curtain-rods of various lengths, and by tightening the screw23, that curtainrod support 17 may be held in any desired extended position. e

Referring in particular to F ig. 5 of the acgaglng.

vportion of a companying drawings, in Vwhich we have illustrated a modification of our improved device, the support 26, has an upper element V27', and a llower element 28, provided'with curved edges, 29 and 30, respectively adapt-A ed to slidably support a curtain-rod bracket 31, and the shade-roller bracket 13. The support 26 is provided With apertures 32, to accommodate screws 33, as a means of attaching the support 26, to the upper or top window frame. The said screws 33, being suitably located, so as to permit the head of the said screvvs 33, when the said screWs are 'screwed in, to make contact With the edges of the shade-roller bracket 13, and the curtain-rod bracket 31, so as to hold the shade-roller bracket 13, and the curtainrod bracket 31 in any desired extended position, for `'the purpose as heretobefore set forth.

` vReferring in'pairticular to Figs. '6 and 7 of the accompanying dravvings, in which We have illustrated a further our iinproved device, the support 26, has 'slidably attached thereto by screvvs 35 e11- memberV 3a, adapted to engage one 'edge of the shade-roller bracket 13, and one edge of the curtain-rod bracket'31, so as to more firlnly hold the shade-roller bracket 13 and the curtain-rod bracket 31 in any desired extended position.

particular to Figs. 8 and 9, of-

Referring in the accompanying dravvings, vin. which We have illustrated another modificationof our improved device-,the above mentioned curved edges 29 and 30, are adapted to slidably supmodification of port the above inentioned curtain-rod bracket 31 and a second curtain-rod bracket 31', adapted'to engage the above mentioned cur tain-rod dO and a second curtain-rod 40', re-

19' being of suitable or. suflicient length to extend beyond the above mentioned curved extremity 19.

Having thus described our invention, what We` clailn as new, and desire` to protect by 'Letters Patentof the United States, is as fol-- lovvs: i

A device of the class described comprising spaced apart brackets adapted tobe secured i to a Wall, extensions on each of said brackets each colnprising an invvardly disposed curved portion, a socket member formed on the end of lock of sald curved portions, comprising an integral projection of saidcurved portionv of a width less than the width lthereof,v and forlned substantially n the shape of a cylinder, avpin niounted in upright substantially vertical position in each of said sockets eX- tending` to the upper edges of said Curved portions and a. curtain rod having apertures in the end portions thereof, for receiving saidpins Inounted on Vthe latter for forming a contlnuance of sald curved portlons.

In testimony Whereof we have afiixed our I signatures.
